Rumor has it that they have been discontinued for a long time. Just they are selling the last of what is left (which is a lot of things). We originally thought that they would discontinue it as soon as the longstrike came out, but they must have done a rerun as the new boxes now don't say "nerf's longest blaster" (I believe?). But otherwise a lot of people believe that the longshot is reaching its end. That aside so many of the damn things were made that you may still find them for another year (or even two?) to go.

What I can't believe is that the things were no where to be seen up until 2008ish.

That's why I always use the "price check points" in Big W, traditionally Nerf were always cheaper there than the local Kmart (except for sales/clearances) at least that was the case near my previous home...

I really like those clearance trolleys at BigW, that's how I landed the Nerf Wookie bowcaster for under $10...

edit: got a 2 pack and modded 1 straight away ( annoyingly 3 different types of screw note where they go if you open it up, ar removed and added slight spring compression) awesome pistol even shoots buzzbee ammo, slight better range than modded maverick and modded nitefinder. But out of the box outperforms both of these if all are unmodded.
